R.C. Gorman created Female Lovers in 1975, a oil pastel held in the gallery’s celebrated catalog. Oil pastel was Gorman’s most personal medium — worked directly by hand, with the velvety surface and living line that define his original works on paper.
The piece is catalogued by the gallery with the details shown above, and its imagery reflects the themes collectors associate with Gorman’s work — the draped figure, the desert light, and the quiet dignity of his subjects. Works on paper are best framed under glass, where the pastel surface keeps its full depth of color. It suits collections focused on oil pastel work by R.C. Gorman and makes a grounded acquisition for collectors of Southwestern art and Native American fine art.
Contact the gallery with any questions about this work; the team is glad to share additional documentation on request.
